ZROADZ slider / step installed

[67BroncoG1]

@Bybotie we must have been in the same shipment. I literally installed these on my break from work. Super simple and loving them!

those are great but a Lot of money for what they are.

Do you guys find yourself hitting them or bumping on them getting in and out if your not using as a step.

So far, yes. Sticks out enough to bump the calf if you're not using the step. We'll see if muscle memory changes that.

I find it hard to avoid hitting my pant leg against the rocker getting out of ours with no step at all. It's gonna be impossible with any step. I'll just have to deal with it.

Stripped some of the body threads for the 10mm bolt. Has anyone tried tapping new threads yet. Super hesitant...

Unless it's the front bolt you have no issues. You can get new brackets if you screw up. The front bolt is a body mount, good luck with that.

@Bybotie Of course it's the front one.
Bracket on one side was just out of alignment, tried to run the bolt hoping it would straighten up. First 1/8 is stripped now and can't get the original or provided bolt to bite.

I put of a set of ZRoadZ on my Badlands Sasquatch, as well. If you have the factory rock rails, these are super easy to install. No drilling, special tools, or body modifications needed.

Looks great! But this confirms my worry about using these in a bronco with standard flares. They are perfect and lined up in the rear with the squash flares, but they are gonna stick out beyond the standard flares which would really drive me crazy for a while. Just something to weigh in the decision.

Nice, if you don’t mind, get some good shots of your Bronco at a reasonable distance so we can see the proportions to the rest of the vehicle. Maybe even a good angle that can show how big the gap between flare and front edge of slider to see how much spray it will block from hitting the doors. I know that’s asking a bit much but it would be super helpful.

Ordered my set for my 4-door badlands Sasquatch. Looks like about a 4-5 week wait.

These seems pricey for something that doesn’t bolt to the frame. For less money I’m looking at the SRQ sliders.

those are what I have been looking for. Thank you for sharing. Shame they have a 3 month lead time.

1. Always check your nuts.
2. How do you think they will do with rock protection?
3. Will mud flaps still install fine?

Check your nuts?? (I just had to/two)

 

[clarkscottkent]

I have seen rock chip question...wondering if anyone has a long term report regarding rocks? I'm curious if flaps will still be needed. I ordered these side steps hoping they'll provide enough rock protection for a cleaner look.
Thanks
